Assessments
The Etobicoke–Mississauga Branch of ORMTA welcomes members to register their students for our Fall and Spring Assessments. These Assessments provide valuable performance opportunities for students of all ages and RCM levels. Participants may perform piece(s) of their choice, provided that it meets the repertoire and performance guidelines. Written feedback will be given by the adjudicator and marks will be awarded for all categories except the Mature Classes. Students (not including the Mature Classes) who achieve a mark of 84% or higher on any piece at either the Fall or Spring Assessments, within the same academic year, are eligible to participate in the Branch Competition held in May.
